Default The guy at autozone

So neways theres this guy at autozone who has a red trans am. I complemented on in a couple times and asked him if he was going to throw a ws6 hood on it and he always said nah it has a ls1, and then i told him its a hood and he looked at me all confused. So neways i cruise in today to pick up a license plate light for my bike, which they didnt have, but neways i look at this guys trans am and he put on those sticky hood scoop things that look like **** are held on my 3m double stick and are black. So i think we all need to go in to the autozone off mission and riverview, line up and take turns slapping the **** outta him.

I'd casually walk by, rip it off, and step on it making sure to ruin it so he can't put it back on.

Get a couple of WS6:es and park next to his car. Go in and fetch him, and show him how it's done.

That's still no excuse. His kid or dying grandmother should have more sense than that. Or he should've told them it got stolen the day he put it on by a mexican biker chain gang.

Ha ha, I live a few miles from that zone, and it's the one I always use. Never seen the car, but now I'll be on the lookout and snap a few pics.

I went to the AutoZone in Mira Loma yesterday & left pissed off. I was told that they do not loan Code Readers anymore. The guy (dumbass) behind the counter said it was because California passed a law that they couldn't do it anymore.

So why I was there I thought I would pick up some Spline Drive Lug Nuts for my new Weld racing Wheels. I couldn't remember the thread measurement that I needed (I know my fault)...so I asked the same guy (still a dumbass). He asked if I was talking about the studs, I said no LUG NUTS (I said it slow so he could understand). He then asked me if my car had a V6 or a V8 Then he asked me if it was for the stock wheels. I told him no they are for after market wheels, he then replied that I needed to go to a wheel shop because they only sell parts for stock cars. I told him that it didn't matter if it was stock or custom the thread pattern was still the same. He said no it won't be because it is not stock... I replied I am not changing the studs only the style of LUG NUT. He gave me a blank look, and said he couldn't help me.

I walked out swearing & telling everybody in the store they are buying parts from morons.

The guy may be a dumbass, but he's right about the code reader. I went through the same thing at a couple parts stores around here.

wtf... you actually stumped the guy at autozone?
i thought they were all-knowing car gurus.

like this one time i also needed lug nuts and came to the counter to confirm i picked the right size off the shelf. i had picked up a package of 12 x 1.5 and the guy behind the counter said that i was wrong and picked up the wrong package because i needed "twelve by one point fifty."

what would we do without these guys?

No code readers lended anywhere now. Dealers here were using them to clear codes on dealer cars so they stopped lending them out.

BTW there is a v6er here that has those 3m scoops. They want 11k for a 120k mile riced out bird.
